The death of 23-year old Durban student Natasha Conabeer, just days after she was dropped at her mother's doorstep in Inanda, has shaken SA. She went missing three weeks ago.
On Sunday, a Twitter page created in a bid to find her announced that she had been found, but was in a critical condition in ICU.
However, the celebration of her return was short-lived. On Monday, a family spokesperson told TimesLIVE that she had died in hospital.
Details about her disappearance emerged on Monday, when her friend, Zamambo Mkhize, said Natasha had hinted that she was being stalked the week before she disappeared.
"Someone was following her almost 24/7, saying she told her she could not disclose all the information until 'all this goes away'."
Conabeer's name has dominated social media.
I wish the fundis could create a bracelet or watch women can press when they are in distress that will send an alarm with their location to the police and community so we can go and rescue, please pass on to the right ppl #RIPNatasha

I need this man/men to be found. Can't be roaming the streets freely after what they've done. They'll continue to do it to other women. I hope they left something, finger prints, hair/skin anything that can be used in the investigation. Natasha deserves Justice. #RIPNatasha

I feel physically sick in my stomach after reading what happened to Natasha. Please, don't judge anyone for logging off social media. We have no tears left to cry #RIPNatasha
